album's debut single "Laura" performed just as well in the UK Singles chart. Having received prestigious Mercury Prize nomination for her previous studio albums Fur and Gold (Parlophone Records) and Two Suns (Parlophone Records), her name has become a bubbling household name in the United Kingdom.

and work, at a card-packing factory, to be recognized a serious emerging artist.

heart-warming voice. Khan's unique musical style led her songs to be featured in a variety
of commercials, video games and even the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. Additionally,
Khan has even collaborated and toured with Coldplay following a one-off gig in London in
